Applications: Ideal for stainless steel license plate frames (corrosion-resistant), sandwich makers with stainless steel plates without non-stick coatings (food-grade safety), industrial machinery, and architectural cladding.

Key Properties & Performance

Tensile Strength

Grade 201: Offers superior tensile strength (860–1130 MPa), making it suitable for structural applications requiring high load-bearing capacity.
Grade 304: Balances strength (515–720 MPa) with formability, ideal for food processing equipment and stainless steel license plate frames exposed to moderate stress.
Grade 316: Enhanced with molybdenum for higher tensile resistance (520–670 MPa), perfect for marine environments and sandwich makers with stainless steel plates without non-stick surfaces requiring heat stability.

Bending Strength

All grades exhibit excellent ductility, allowing cold bending without cracking. Grade 304 achieves a minimum bending radius of 1x thickness, while Grade 316 maintains integrity even under extreme thermal cycling.

Identification & Certification

Marking: Laser-etched codes comply with ASTM A240/A480 (e.g., "304L" for low-carbon variants) and ISO 3506 standards.
Certification: Mill test reports (MTRs) validate chemical composition (e.g., 18% Cr, 8% Ni in 304) and mechanical properties.

Weight Calculation

Use the formula for precise estimates:
$Weight (kg) = Length (m) \times Width (m) \times Thickness (mm) \times Density (kg/m³) \div 1000$
Example: A 2m x 1m x 10mm Grade 304 plate weighs $2 \times 1 \times 10 \times 8000/1000 = 160 kg$ .

Why Stainless Steel Rusts?

Despite chromium’s protective oxide layer (10.5%+), rust can occur due to:

Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or de-icing agents degrade the passive layer, causing pitting (common in Grade 304).
Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasive cleaning tools expose raw steel to oxidation.
Low-Quality Alloys: Substandard chromium/nickel ratios (<18% Cr in 201) reduce corrosion resistance.
Chemical Contamination: Acidic or alkaline residues (e.g., industrial solvents) accelerate corrosion.
Prevention: Regular cleaning with pH-neutral solutions and avoiding chlorine-based cleaners.
